Minimum production checklist

Step	Why it matters
Use environment variables	Keep API keys out of frontend code, screenshots, chat logs, and public repositories.
Send one small request	Confirm model name, base URL, key permissions, and response shape before expanding traffic.
Check logs and balance	Make sure spend, errors, and project-level usage are traceable.
Confirm live pricing	Prices and availability can change; verify the pricing page before a larger batch.

Try TackleKey with one OpenAI-compatible change

Create an account, generate a project API key, then replace your client base URL with the TackleKey endpoint. Keep keys server-side and verify live pricing before scaling traffic.
